Q
  1. First alarm units arrive at the scene of a fire in a 6-story Old Law Tenement building that
    has CIDS indicating “narrow shafts on the exposure 2 and 4 sides”. On arrival, heavy fire is
    showing in the store on the first floor with auto exposure to a second floor apartment. In this
    situation, it would be correct to? (FFP MD—3.3.4, 3.4.6, 4.3)
    A. Transmit a second alarm on arrival
    B. Ensure during overhaul that no material is thrown into any shafts until after an examination
    is made of the shafts for any possible jumpers
    C. Stretch a 1 ¾” line to the first floor store and a second hand line to the entrance hallway
    D. Be aware that store ceilings are usually constructed of metal which can communicate heat
    to the floor above
A
  1. D

3.3.4 Officers must not permit any material to be thrown out of windows unnecessarily.
A member should always be posted in the yard or street below to prevent injuries
to anyone from falling material. Examination of yard must be made before
discarding any material into the yard to assure that no occupant has jumped into
the yard prior to the arrival of Fire Department units. No material shall be thrown
onto roofs of building setbacks or into narrow shafts.

For a fire in an Old Law or New Law Tenement, special
call an extra engine and truck for fire on two floors. If progress is not made on at
least one floor in a short period of time, transmit a 2nd alarm. If fire is in a shaft
extending into an exposure, transmit a 2nd alarm. If fire is extending into two
exposures, transmit a 3rd alarm.

4.3.1 Store fires in OLTs may involve a large amount of combustible material. A 2 ½”
line should be stretched for large volume fires and a second line stretched to the
entrance hallway. When assured that the second line is not needed on the first
floor, it may be advanced to the floor above the fire.

Q
  1. First alarm units arrive at the scene of a fire on the 11th floor of a 26-story FPMD. After the
    first ECC supplies the standpipe siamese, the first Engine Officer determines that the 1st Control
    FF is getting very low, inadequate pressure at the standpipe outlet on the 10th floor. In this
    situation, which action would be most appropriate? (Comm 8 Pg 18, MDs-6.7.3, 6.26.2)
    A. A 10-70 signal should be transmitted and the 1st ECC supplying the siamese should notify
    the IC of his flow meter reading
    B. The 3rd arriving engine should be aware they are the unit responsible to check the standpipe
    system for open valves or a broken pipe
    C. The first Control FF should remain at the standpipe outlet throughout the entire operation
    to provide orderly and accurate communications and continuity
    D. A second supply line should be connected to a different siamese connection to resolve the
    inadequate pressure issue.
A
  1. A

The second arriving engine will be designated the “Water Resource Unit” and
must be prepared to initiate water supply operations compatible with conditions
encountered at the scene. Their primary objective is to assist the first arriving
engine to obtain a positive water source. Options include:
 In-Line Pumping
 Water Relay
 Check standpipe system for open valves, broken pipe, check valves, etc

F. The control firefighter will:
 Charge the hoseline when directed by the officer;
The officer and control firefighter from the second arriving engine company
should relieve the first arriving control firefighter at the hose outlet and
communicate with the first arriving engine officer to ensure that adequate
pressure is supplied to the nozzle. It remains the first arriving engine control
firefighter’s responsibility to ensure a proper hook-up to the hose outlet,
including connection of any necessary fittings and adapters, as well as
removal of the PRD. The in-line pressure gauge should always be used to
ensure correct nozzle pressure and a good fire stream.

Q
  1. An Engine Company arriving at the scene of a CFR-D response finds a 90-year old victim
    in cardiac arrest and is handed DNR paperwork while they are setting up to perform CPR. In this
    situation, they would be correct to perform CPR if they are given a? (CFR Ch 2
    6.2.1—6.2.4)
  2. DNR Order on a NY State form with a signed date that is over 3 years old
  3. DNR Order on a NY State form, but they believe that the DNR order is invalid
  4. Nursing Home DNR Order with only a physician’s signature
  5. DNR order on a NY State form dated 1/1/2011, but a second document is presented with a
    subsequent date (1/1/2014) that revokes the original DNR Order
    A. 2, 4 B. 1, 3 C. 2, 3 D. 1, 2, 4
A
  1. B

6.2.4 NYS law provides immunity from liability for “good faith actions” if the CFR-D
provider believes the DNR order has expired or is invalid and basic life support,
including defibrillation, measures are carried out. A DNR order need not have a
current date.

6.2 Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Orders:
6.2.1 Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders are described by the NYS DOH in the prehospital
setting as an individual’s right to decline any or all life saving measures
to be implemented to sustain life when all respiratory or cardiac activity ceases.
A. If a CFR-D Unit is presented with a NYS DOH Out of Hospital DNR Order,
the Officer in Charge shall notify the dispatcher of the above and ask them to
advise EMS. A DNR Order is only an order not to perform cardio-pulmonary
resuscitation (e.g., chest compressions and artificial ventilation for a patient in
cardiac arrest). It is not a reason to withhold other treatments, such as
supplemental oxygen.
B. The order must be a copy of the NYS Out of Hospital DNR form (Chapter 5
Section 1). The patient’s attending physician must sign and date the form,
which must contain the patient’s name, date of birth, the MD’s signature and
license number, and the date issued.
C. If a signed order is presented, the CFR-D Unit should follow it unless it has
been revoked verbally or in writing. Obtain the original DNR order and give
it to EMS upon their arrival

Q
  1. An aerial ladder company arrives at a fire on the 5th floor of a 6-story OLT with railroad
    flats and no front fire escape. There are two victims on the front of the building on the fire floor
    and a serious fire in the rear of the building. One victim is ambulatory and the other victim is
    very old and helpless. In this situation, it would be most correct for the aerial ladder to be placed
    initially? (Ladders 2 3.1.5, 5.11)
    A. Against the window sill, and the ambulatory victim removed first
    B. 2” from the window sill, and the ambulatory victim removed first
    C. 2” from the window sill, and the helpless, older victim removed first
    D. 6” from the window sill, and the helpless, older victim removed first
A
  1. B

3.1.5 Recommended distance of the tip from the objective is 2” to 6”. In case of rescue,
use the 2” positioning so that the ladder will rest against the window sill after
weight is put on it. This will remove the danger of motion to an uninitiated
civilian. There is an exception to this recommended minimum distance. At a
very extreme angle, e.g., placing the ladder to the roof of a seven story building,
allow the ladder to barely touch the building. This will prevent excessive
movement when a member climbs to a high elevation. During a member’s climb,
the ladder will be forced to rest against the building, which then stabilizes it.

5.11 When there are two victims to be removed, the order of removal is dependent on
variables difficult to predetermine. In many instances, one of the people will have
climbed out on the ladder before a member has reached this position and there will be no
need to make a preferential determination as to removal. Occasionally one of the
occupants will be aged, infirm, extremely heavy or hysterical and the other one
ambulatory and less trouble to remove. The removal order should be based on the length
of time needed to completely effect this rescue and the seriousness of the exposure to
victims and members.
5.11.1 A serious fire in the front might cut off ladder descent in a short period of time.
Both members assist the most helpless victim onto the ladder and the chauffeur
assists the victim below the point of danger and then to the street. While the
chauffeur is slowly descending, the OV climbs out onto the ladder and assists the
more ambulatory person onto the ladder and complete descent is made.
Note: In this instance, time is the prime consideration in effecting a complete removal of
victims below the danger point and preventing the possibility of retreat being cut off.
5.11.2 A serious fire in the rear, cutting off interior descent and no available front fire
escape, presents another problem. Since the fire is not pushing out the front
windows the time required to effect removal of victims is less critical. In this
case, consideration can be given to the simple removal first and then concentrate
on the difficult removal which will require two members.

Q
  1. The Officer of Ladder 99 operating assigned as the FAST Unit at a second alarm transmits
    a Mayday for a PASS alarm activation indicated on their Pak-Tracker where no contact can be
    established with the member. After the IC directs Ladder 99 to search for the member using their
    Pak-Tracker in its tracking mode, the Officer would be correct to think that when using the Pak-
    Tracker? (TB SCBA Add 8 7.6, 7.8, 7.9)
    A. To begin searching, the Pak-Tracker should be held chest high out in front of the operating
    member with the top of the hand held receiver pointed toward the target
    B. Use the Pak-Tracker in a sweeping motion, very slowly in a vertical direction first
    C. Always pause 2 to 3 seconds for a reading, and it is best to pause at distinct directional

Q
  1. An engine company arrives first at the scene of a 10-75 fire on the first floor of a 2-story
    detached private dwelling where CIDS information indicates that the PD has lightweight parallel
    chord wood truss construction throughout. In this situation, the engine officer would be correct to
    think that? (PD Ch 6 4.1.7, 4.2.2, 4.3.8, 4.3.11)
    A. He should request an extra engine and ladder company above the 10-75
    B. Under no circumstances should they enter the building, other than for a life hazard, if the
    PD is currently under construction
    C. No one shall be permitted to operate on the roof
    D. Under no circumstances should the roof be cut
A
  1. D

4.1.7 Unless the fire is minor, or confined to a small area, the primary emphasis for a
fire in a lightweight building under construction is that of an exterior attack.

4.2.2 A 2nd hoseline must be positioned to back up the 1st line. When the 2nd line is
needed to address a potential life hazard or is directed by the IC to a location
remote from the 1st hoseline, a 3rd hoseline must be positioned as a back-up line.
The IC shall special call an additional engine company for a structural fire in a
building constructed of lightweight materials.

4.3.8 Cutting the roof and pushing down the ceiling could expose the cockloft area to
additional heat and fire from the top floor. In addition, a saw cut could sever a
structural member causing the failure of one or more trusses/joists. Therefore,
under no circumstances shall the roof be cut in any peaked or flat roof building of
lightweight construction.

4.3.11 When fire is on the top floor and there are indications that it has extended to the
attic/cockloft, the IC shall be immediately notified, and members shall not be
permitted to operate on the roof. Any fire present in the attic/cockloft represents
the potential for a partial or complete collapse of the roof.

    A. Notify the medical officer and record an illness in CIRS if a member sustained food
    poisoning from a firehouse meal
    B. Enter all 9’s in the 16 digit FDID spaces to initiate a report in CIRS for an injury that
    occurs in quarters
    C. Enter both an exposure report and an injury report for a member who was exposed to a
    chemical, and is now coughing as a result of the exposure
    D. Enter an exposure report into CIRS immediately for a member who had a biological
    exposure on a CFR-D response at 0030 hours

Q
  1. A Ladder Company is special called as a Vent Support Group Unit at a 2nd alarm fire in a
    large commercial building where the IC has asked them to mechanically ventilate the building as
    there is a lot of residual smoke that will not lift. As the Officer, in order to best accomplish this
    task, it would be most correct for you to? (AUC 349 9.2)
    A. Use a low exhaust opening, in preference to a high exhaust opening
    B. Insure the inlet opening is double the size of the exhaust opening
    C. Set the fans up 4-6 feet from the inlet with the angle of the fan shroud set at 70 degrees
    D. Use both of your two fans at the inlet opening
A
  1. D

The higher the exhaust opening
the better. Having the exhaust opening close to and as high up as possible to the seat
of the fire minimizes the smoke damage to the structure.

The fan
will be set farther back then the 4 to 6 feet used when pressurizing stairwells. The
angle of the fan shroud will remain at 80 degrees. A rule of thumb is that the exhaust
opening should be double the size of the opening where the PPF is placed.

Contrary to stairwell pressurization (creating pressure), the objective of mechanical
ventilation is to move as much fresh air as possible into the structure or area. The more
fans the better. One 27” gasoline powered fan moves approximately five times more air
(24,000 CFM) than our 16” electric box fan (3,400 CFM). Using roll-down doors can
allow two fans to be placed side by side (parallel) blowing into a structure. A seal is
created by adjusting the height of the roll-down door and the set back of the fans

Q
  1. A Ladder company officer conducting drill on portable ladder operations was correct to
    make which statement below? (Ladders 1 10.2, 10.3.2, 10.3.4, 10.3.11)
    A. The preferred portable ladder to place over weakened, damaged or burnt out stairs is a
    straight ladder
    B. A portable ladder that has been used by a member to enter a fire building shall never be
    repositioned by another member
    C. When ventilating a window on an upper floor, place the ladder upwind, and if possible,
    level with or higher than the top of the window
    D. At Brownstone fires, taking a portable ladder through the parlor floor of an adjoining
    brownstone with the tip facing the rear, is the most appropriate tactic
A
  1. C

10.3.4 Portable ladders may be placed over weakened, damaged or burnt-out stairs in
order to safely gain access to upper stories of a building. The preferred ladder
for this is the extension ladder rather than a straight ladder. The shorter nested
length allows easier maneuverability and positioning, while the adjustable
length should ensure proper coverage of the entire stair span.

Therefore, do not move or reposition a ladder
used in this manner except if it is necessary to use the ladder for rescue.
Members operating in the area the ladder was used to access should be notified
regarding its repositioning. The ladder should be returned to its original location
or replaced with another ladder as soon as possible.

Note: In a brownstone, it is important to take the ladder through with the butt
facing the rear of the building.
